Correct. He goes on to say this: https://twitter.com/MikePereira/status/952912691370262529

Apparently, the rule doesn't specify regular season vs playoff games. So they would have to follow the rule in all situations.

Regardless, I don't believe they had to kick it due to vegas. Only because college football doesn't have to kick it.

I think in a playoff game, the rule should just treat it as a walk off or make it an option for the kicking team.  Pretty bizarre to sit around for five minutes to regroup.  In any regard, one in a million play but exciting.

sore losers???  The game was over, they ran off to the locker room.  They did came back out for the PAT.  What more do you want from them.  I'm not a saints fan, and he does generally seem like an ass, but you're reaching on this one.

This.

Payton totally effed up going for it on 4th-and-2 at midfield the previous week against the Panthers - a brutally bad coaching decision that almost cost his team the game. He is a dick who, among other things, ordered his players to try to hurt other teams' players - I do believe the bounty thing was real (I refuse to use -gate) and I do believe he knew about it.

But I could give 2 shytes about gamblers losing bets because of this. Having to kick the point (or run a 2) in this situation is dopey. And the Saints DID follow the rules.

[naginiF]

Neither you nor I have no idea what Payton did or said.

You're right.  i'm probably reading too much into him sending out the punter to line up for the final play, it probably was a simple mistake and not a sign of him being a really poor sport.

edit: apparently the Vikes punter was on the field for the play too.  So i'll admit that the PAT management may not have been an intentional move based on him being a poor sport, but his body of work would not make it a stretch that it was him being a jagoff.  If you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, knock yourself out.

Worst bad beat conversion kneel/don't kneel ever was the '98 Bills/Pats game. Bunch of controversial calls, including the alleged "just give it to them" play. Pats scored untimed TD to go up 23-21 and get the win. Wade Phillips, in protest, refused to keep his team on the field for the conversion. Pats lined up, instead of taking a knee, Vinateri walked it in for 2, Pats win 25-21.

Line was Pats -3.5.

That loss to Philly was in the divisional playoffs.  They would have to go to Carolina for the NFC Championship Game.

Few doubts they would have made the Super Bowl if they had held the Eagles on 4th and 26th.

4th and fookin 26. And you give up a first down? There is nothing worse than that.

I'd say last night was without question worse.

4th and 26 but with over a minute to go in the game, meaning the Eagles could use the whole field/the Packers had to cover the whole field.  If the Vikings throw it over the middle last night the game ends.

Heck, I'd say the Packers game at Seattle in the NFC Title game was worth than the 4th and 26 game.

Or had the Packers won the game in Arizona in overtime after not one but two Hail Mary's and a 98 yard drive to tie the game with 0:00 on the clock, that drive was worse.

Or throwing a pick on 2nd and goal from the 2 when you're about to win the SB and have one of the more physical running backs to ever play the game.

Or being up 28-3 in the 2nd half of a Super Bowl and losing.

4th and 26 was absolutely awful.  But I've seen plenty of situations that were worse in just as big of moments, if not bigger.

True. They are. But I struggle to see the idea that there?s never been worse than 4th and 26.

C'mon Eng.  Danica needs the pub.  ARodg enjoys the 'couples attention' when they're seen together at sporting events and red carpets.  He believes it's good for his image. 

Here's my only wish.  IF some of the long standing rumors are true, I really wish he'd be a leader on the subject.  I'd hope we'd all grown enough over the past several decades.

[4everwarriors]

Watt roomers, hey?

[jsglow]

Watt roomers, hey?

Please.  Don't tell me you live under a rock.

[4everwarriors]

If we've "all grown enough over the past several decades," and there are "long standing rumors," then no innuendo is needed and you should say what is implied by your statement.

Whatever.  I was simply responding to Eng.  Enjoy your day.
